Therefore. if the United States and other Latin American nations continue their economic boycott. Castro may. as a result of Soviet aid cutbacks. be forced to make a choiceeither explain to the Cuban people his failures or adopt a responsible or responsive attitude toward the rest of the hemisphere. The possibility of forcing Castro into such a position requires that we continue political and economic sanctions. to ignore the opportunity would be to break faith with the OAS and with freedomloving people around the world. including some 650.000 refugees who have fled Castros tyranny. The time has long since come for Castro to give up his dreams of revolution and to make good on the promise of freedom that brought him to power. The burden of proof is upon Castro. when he is ready to return Cuba to the Western Hemisphere. the hemisphere will be ready to reevaluate him.
